i found a way around it by creating a bat file (my first actual useful=20
batfile :P) like this:
  @echo off
cd c:\ruby\
doskey rdoc=3Dc:\ruby\bin\rdoc.bat $*
doskey rails=3Dc:\ruby\bin\rails.cmd $*
doskey irb=3Dc:\ruby\bin\irb.bat $*
doskey gem=3Dc:\ruby\bin\gem.cmd $*
doskey fxri=3Dc:\ruby\bin\fxri.cmd $*
doskey rubyw=3Dc:\ruby\bin\rubyw.exe $*
doskey ruby=3Dc:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe $*
doskey freeride=3Dc:\ruby\freeride\freeride.rb $*
doskey scite=3Dc:\ruby\scite\scite.exe $*
 so i could run all my stuff just by typing in the commands.
also, in the registry, you could change=20
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun" to run th=
e=20
bat file when cmd.exe is executed, so you don't have to open it yourself=20
every time.
i can't believe i've actually programmed something useful.. i feel so smart=
